For me, C::B always took somewhere around ten seconds to start up (and then it kept using 5-10% CPU even when idling with all plugins disabled - a number of other people reported the same thing). But it's been awhile since I used it though, so maybe that's all fixed now. But yea, I can't remember ever seeing a non-trivial Java app that wasn't a bit on the sluggish side. >> >> Just firing up a dialog in eclipse takes a good second, maybe two.

You have *got* to be kidding me. Vuze is one of the absolute biggest pieces of bloatware I've ever seen in my entire life. *Eclipse* is more responsive for me (although only just barely). There are exactly three programs I've always considered to be roughly tied for "biggest bloatware in history": - Eclipse - Vuze - JetBrains MPS And among those three, Eclipse is close to just simply being #3, right after a tie between Vuze and MPS for #1.
